Andy Murray lost in the 2nd round of the US Open but after the match he spoke extensively about his future plan which include playing and winning titles.

Andy Murray played as best he could but his best was not enough for Auger-Aliassime who managed to defeat the Brit in straight sets. When you look at the result you can see that Murray didn't offer too much resistance but he also player a marathon match a day earlier so that was kind of expected.
After the match Murray spoke to the media and broke down what happened:
"He served a little bit better tonight than he had in the last couple of weeks which helped because he obviously got quite a lot of free points with the first serve. Even when I was getting a racquet on it he was able to dictate off the first shot of the rally, as well."
There were positives in the 33-year olds return but he admitted there is still a lot work to do:
"I would like to play consistently better tennis and consistently higher-level tennis because what that does is like in the first round, for example, I thought I played better as the match went on. But if you aren’t playing at a high level consistently then you will play longer matches because you’re having dips. I think that was the case in my matches last week, as well."
When asked what his motivation was coming back he admitted he hopes to compete for titles again, even grand slams. He said:
"In terms of winning Grand Slams again, that’s going to be extremely difficult to do. It was hard enough when I had two normal hips. So it will be difficult, but I’ll keep trying, like, why not?"
